 Tips & Tricks 
 
 There is a 3D particles actor and a 3D model particles actor. The first is for 2D particles and the second is for 3D particles 
 When working with particles you are working in 3D space so begin with adding the 3D stage orientation and set the "z translate" to -10 or something similar otherwise you will not see the particles because you are own top of the particles. 
 Do not forget to play with the particle count and location/velocity to really see them move. 
 
 Practice Assignment 
 Make it snow with an appropriate soundtrack. Bonus points for interactivity or special effects.
